An Explanation...

Published on February 16, 2005 By Gideon MacLeish In Blogging

I want to further elaborate on my blog yesterday. No, I'm not apologizing, no I'm not taking back anything I said. But I feel an elaboration is in order.

Shades, in some small way you're right (not exactly right, but close enough). I'm not exactly projecting, but I have been tiptoeing around certain topics here on the blogsite because there are some fragile emotions involved. And I don't want to make a comment that I would regret for sometime to come.

I could give some good answers to some of the questions that are being asked...but there are personal reasons why I'm holding back. Frankly, I've always tried to hold to a standard of respect for my fellow bloggers that is atypical of online communiocation, I know, but...I know there are real people "at the other end", and that there are things I can say that would be very unsupportive and counterproductive. I hate having to self edit, but I hate even more the prospect of emotionally damaging someone with a premature and/or unkind remark.

So, for the moment, give me some room on the religion issues, OK? Politics is still fair game, though.

I was kind of hoping I was totally wrong--after I posted I realized I really didn't have a place to make any comment. I am known for being rash and oversensative most of the time (I try to control it in cyberspace, but it is only a smidgeon better than real life).

I sincerely apologize for any ill feelings that I've caused you in the past week. I hope that you are able to work through all of this in the most productive manner possible (and I have faith that you will).

NHL=National Holdout League.

I played hockey all the way to the college level. Worshipped the sport my whole life.

I'm DONE with them.

That was me and Baseball. I have not come back completely, but I do pay passing attention to the regular season again. of course with my Mets in the toilet year after year, I dont have much to root about.
